We’re looking forward to our Easter Sunday Special and hope that you’ll be able to join us as we celebrate the fact that Jesus rose from the grave.
We meet up at 11:30am to enjoy coffee and a chat before our Easter Service begins at 11:45.
The service includes some Easter themed hymns and choruses, as well as readings and a quiz and will finish with a short talk from Alan.
After the service, which is due to finish at around 12:30, we’ll have some giveaways for everyone and hope that you’ll be able to stay and join us for a light lunch.
discover will continue next week from 11:30, when we’ll be starting a few weeks looking at some of the Psalms.
We enjoyed an excellent time at our Easter Sunday Family Service, with almost sixty people joining us for the morning and the hall decked out with daffodils.
Hosted by Phil, we began by singing Come and see followed by prayer.
After a short welcome including the dates for the resumption of Sunday Club as well as the next scheduled Family Service, we moved on to our first reading from Luke 23:44-47, which was read by Rebekah.
This was followed by the singing of Oh to see the dawn and our second reading, from Matthew 28:1-6, which was delivered by Brian.
Our third hymn was See what a morning, which was followed by an entertaining Easter themed quiz consisting of general knowledge questions about Easter.
Afterwards, we watched a short animated video of the Easter story, shown below:
Before Paul came up to speak to us, we sung Jesus Christ is alive today and I’m Special.
Paul Cogger came up and spoke briefly about life, highlighting various verses and explaining how important Easter is to Christians and how it is that we can obtain eternal life through the work Jesus did for us in his death on the cross.
Paul also talked about goodie bags which we would be handing out at the end of the Family Service.
These each contained a number of items including invites to forthcoming events, a booklet entitled What’s the point of Easter, an activity story (Josh and Jade at Easter) and colouring for children and a creme egg. Ladies were also given some of the many daffodils decorating the hall.
If you’re interested in obtaining a copy of either of these two publications, please either click on the images to order online, or alternatively contact us and we would be happy to send you one.
The Family Service ended with the singing of Led like a lamb and prayer.
It was followed by a selection of refreshments which included hot cross buns.
Great number in for our #Easter service today. Tremendous to remember our risen Saviour together.
We had a enjoyable time when some of the children who normally come along to Friday Club joined up with a few of those from Sunday Club for some Easter-themed games at Parkside, organised by Alan.
With sunshine and the prospect of a dry morning, we met up around 11am and the children were split into teams to hunt out Easter eggs in the park.
We're out in Kidwells Park for a children's Easter egg hunt and other games! Brr…
We then returned inside for more hunting of eggs – this time the location was given using Bible verses.
More egg-based games continued including one where eggs were balanced on various wooden animals.
The time together finished with the children watching a short video about the Easter story and a short quiz before enjoying a lunch including such delights as frankfurters, crisps, marshmallows and chocolate fingers!
